Johns Hopkins University announced Thursday fans will not be allowed to attend the men’s basketball games it hosts this weekend in the first and second rounds of the NCAA Division III Tournament. USA Today reports Maryland has confirmed its first three cases of COVID-19. The Johns Hopkins campus is in Baltimore, Md.

“In light of Maryland’s recently confirmed cases of COVID-19, and based on CDC guidance for large gatherings, we have determined that it is prudent to hold this tournament without spectators,” the university announced, per the Baltimore Sun. “We are not making any determination about other JHU events at this time; while we await further guidance from public health authorities, we will be assessing large events on a case-by-case basis. We regret any inconvenience to the families and fans of the players.”

Johns Hopkins said fans who purchased tickets for this weekend can get a refund.

One of the schools scheduled to play at Johns Hopkins is Yeshiva University. The school canceled all classes through March 10 after a student tested positive for the coronavirus.

According to the Baltimore Sun, Josh Joseph, the university’s senior vice president, said the infected student is not a member of the basketball team, has not participated in any team events and has not been on campus since Feb. 27. He added that the New York City Department of Health has “cleared” the team to participate in the tournament.

USA Today reports the Yeshiva basketball team had its hotel reservation at the DoubleTree in nearby Pikesville, Md. canceled on Thursday over the coronavirus concerns.

“I made it very clear to the hotel that it’s discrimination,” Yeshiva coach Elliot Steinmetz said, per WJZ in Baltimore. “I basically said to them: ‘Do you have a checkbox on your website that says that you’ve been in an area with suspected coronavirus?’ And they said no. So I said: ‘Is it just for the guests of Yeshiva University?’ And they said yes. I told them that that’s called discrimination.”

According to WJZ, “Hilton spokeswoman Laura Ford said the hotel in Pikesville is an independently owned and operated property. Hotel management did not immediately return a call seeking comment.”

“The NCAA is committed to conducting its championships and events in a safe and responsible manner,” said Donald Remy, NCAA chief operating officer. “Today we are planning to conduct our championships as planned, however, we are evaluating the COVID-19 situation daily and will make decisions accordingly.

“We are actively monitoring COVID-19 in the United States and will make recommendations on competition based on the evolving medical protocols established by the CDC, NIH and state and local authorities,” said NCAA Chief Medical Officer Dr. Brian Hainline. “We are in daily contact with the CDC and are advising leadership on the Association’s response to this outbreak.”
